0081 Chapter 2 - The Shadow of Death (Section 37)

The red-haired girl in the photo had a unhappy face, as if she was holding back her murderous intent. Zhen Cheng was certain that she had never seen this face in person, but it had a strong impression on her. After a moment of reflection, she saw that the face was very unnaturally bright.

The red hair gradually evokes memories of the recent past...

A few seconds later, Zhen Cheng remembered where he had seen this female face that could only be described as handsome.

It was in the news reports used to determine the time coordinate after her "rebirth".

The red-haired young lady known as the "High-profile Love Logan", the criminal wanted for the shooting at the Thetis Main Gate Bar, and the top assassin in the Heart of Songhai, is indeed what the fat man Saint Bian had originally judged.

involved in this matter.

She was witnessed going to Shikoku Academy City on the archipelago, just as she analyzed at the crime scene - to obtain the fragments of [Antique Zero] from the bankrupt collector.

The one who took action was the top assassin of Songhai Heart, so it was natural that the Academy City police could do nothing. And referring to the date on the photo, this guy should have been eager to make a deal with his employer, Thetis Pharmaceuticals, after he succeeded.

In this way, the previously confusing clues were connected. The key remaining now is, what does this thing have to do with herself?

After learning about the background of the person involved, she was even more unconvinced that she had been assassinated one after another because she had solved the case and discovered the other party's purpose.

The employer, Thetis Enterprise, that is, Anbis, could not have taken the risk of breaking up with Zhen to pursue him when his great cause was about to be completed. It was not that he did not know him, and this was the same as ten minutes ago.

The guy's behavior before he died was completely contradictory.

As for the heart of Songhai or the "high-profile Love Logan" himself, it is even less likely that he would entrust a third-rate killer to kill him. They are already the top killers. An apple farmer would go to the market specially.

Do you want to buy apples grown by others?

Except for the meteor shower attack that is still unclear, all the other pursuits that Zhen Cheng encountered have not revealed the unfathomable strength of the opponent behind the scenes. The reason why these attacks are a headache is purely because of the prophetic nature of the opponent.

, the intelligence ability to know everything about your itinerary, location, and daily habits.

This even made her suspect that the opponent behind the scenes had the same "reincarnation" as her, repeatedly experiencing the same adventures or powers over the same period of time.

The third photo below is called "Miracles - Sublimation". The shooting background happens to be the central experimental hall where Zhen Cheng just escaped. This photo is slightly blurry and should have been taken during strenuous exercise. It can barely be seen

In the transparent container of the large equipment in the background, there is still only one-third of the [Antique Zero].

The scene in the photo is as chaotic as it is today. You can see an obviously mutated human being breaking free from the harness behind him, swinging amidst the dense bullets but not falling down.

This made Zhen Cheng have to sigh that the stupid Anbis died without any loss. If it were her, when she got this photo, she would start to wonder why the laboratory needed to risk it when there were many linked list warriors.

Danger of destroying research equipment and suppressing experimental subjects with thermal weapons.

The test subject's pupils were covered with hair and he had obviously lost his vision. Based on Zhen Cheng's previous understanding of the Styx project, the hairy pupils and pus-oozing condition in the photo were exactly what he was exposed to during the first stage of the project's breakthrough.

The symptoms of an experimental subject who mutated and completely lost his mind due to the semi-finished product [Water of Eternal Life].

Corresponding to Anbis's description, it should have been taken before Elogreth snatched away the fragment from the collector, and Thetis had just borrowed the first fragment of [Antique Zero] from the Metropolitan Museum and obtained the

When the Tix project broke through.

The above three recently dated photos reveal the entire process of Thetis Pharmaceuticals' research and development of [Eternal Life Water]. As Anbis himself said, the Thetis Project, which had already had sufficient technological accumulation, came into contact with [Eternal Life Water].

Antiquities Zero], an explosive reaction occurred immediately after completing the last piece of the occult puzzle.

Scroll down further and things become interesting. Zhen Cheng originally thought that she would see the historical trajectory of the Styx project before Anbis took over, but she did not expect that what she saw was the one she was more interested in [No. 0]

Antiquities] related origins.

The fourth photo is nominated for "Opportunity - Key". It shows a museum booth, which holds the first fragment of "Antique Zero".

The antiques on the stand were all exactly the same in shape, size and even the fractures in the photo that Fatty Shengbian showed at the beginning, but only the background was very different.

Zhen Cheng immediately realized that, like many museums, what the Metropolitan Museum displayed to visitors outside was probably just high-precision imitations. The fragments in this photo were genuine items rented by Thetis Enterprise.

What is concerning is that most of the exhibits that would be handled by museums in this way are exhibits with great historical significance or monetary value, and they are definitely not the treatment that "suspected fragments of classical Sioux crafts" can receive.

In other words, there are only two possibilities. Either the Metropolitan Museum knew the true value of this fragment in the first place, or this ancient piece of unknown value has been tried to steal many times and attracted attention.

Zhen Cheng is more inclined to the latter inference. Because if it is the former, then the core of the Scarry family, which actually controls the entire American continent, must have known its value for a long time, and it would not be the turn of Ambis, a young generation of careerists, to jump out.

Pick up leaks.

What caught Zhen Cheng's attention was not the fragments themselves, but the background behind the fragments booth in the photo. It was a background wallpaper made up of a group of old photos. The photo was very clear, and you could make out the writing in the corner of the background wallpaper: Middle Reaches of the Minnesota River

,1964

The old photos were all records of the archaeological excavation site. Zhen Cheng had no interest in the scenes of archaeologists squatting in pits and exploring with brushes. Little did he know that his future destiny would be closely linked to such a scene.

But that's a story later. What caught Zhen Cheng's attention at the moment was a mural carved by primitive people in a cave. The color and shape of the picture were no different from ordinary ancient Indian works, but there happened to be something completely different from the original.

A situation that may have occurred in prehistory - the regular octahedron in the picture!

Ordinary people may think that since [Antique Zero] itself was unearthed from this prehistoric ruins, is there anything wrong with the ancient Indians who owned this cultural relic painting it on the wall of their home?

In fact, there is really nothing wrong with this situation. The real problem that Zhen Cheng realized at first glance actually lies in the regular octahedron itself in the mural.
